At home covid test positive: What should I do next?

I have gone into the church once with my husband and son for the "Welcome Back picnic" in the past year. While in the church, all the windows were opened even though they have refitted the rectory with air purifiers specifically designed to handle COVID. My family had our masks on and during the passing of the peace would only touch elbows with everyone. Then we ate outside and I just sat next to one person outside my family that is aware of what I went through (so she knows if she has a cough, I don't go near anyone).
I have gone out to eat with the family once. I put on my mask whenever one of the servers came near, since they were not wearing a mask. I also wore mask when I wasn't eating. We also sat away from everyone else.
I have also gone to a party. I wore my mask whenever I wasn't eating or drinking. Went early and left early. I only touched elbows with my friends. I know at least most of the people were vaxed. My son stayed with me the whole night with his mask on, but my husband put his guard down. Luckily no one was sick at the party.
I have a dinner meeting coming up with the Deacons and Elders (and the moderator). We are going to reserve a private room in the restaurant (partially to keep me safe). I am going to stay away from the moderator (the only person that I am not sure if he is vaxed and boostered). I am also going to stay away from people that recently traveled and anyone that lives with them. Since we are a pretty tight knit group, we know a lot about each other. I will only take off my mask when eating or drinking (one of my favorite going out beverages either ice tea or cranberry juice with seltzer water).
I have just started to go outside (into the garden to pick tomatoes or peppers or to get the mail) without my mask. If there is a chance I will be within 20 feet of another person, my mask is on.

Wow, @chickytina 😊 It sounds like you have everything very well organized for optimum safety! I am very impressed with how well thought out all of your social plans have been!
By the way, do you have any secrets for growing your tomatoes and peppers? I live in Florida and have a heck of time keeping ants, bugs, animals away from my little garden. I gave up. Do you have any "tips or tricks"? I am happy to hear that you are having a successful garden...it's delicious to eat a fresh veggie from the garden! ❤
